HIS CHURCH or YOURS?

What exactly is the Church?
Are you disappointed with it?
Are you a part of just a follower?

If indeed you are called out... What are you called out to, not just from?

Matthew 16:15-19 (NIV)
15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

ἐκκλησία ekklēsía; called out, to call out. It was a common term for a congregation of the ekklētoí (n.f.), the called people, the body of free citizens called together by a herald
